A Leaning Ladder

Ladders have their place, but walking under them is bad luck! The origin of this legend is, however, disputed. It could have its roots in Christian tradition, where walking into a triangle formed by a leaning ladder could be seen as breaking the Holy Trinity. Another possibility is that the shape resembles medieval gallows. A more practical concern is that maybe it's just not that safe to walk under an unattended ladder. The takeaway is: Put your ladder away when you’re done with it!
